Starting off

I've just got a broadband connection with slingshot where they gave me a Dynalink RTA1335 DSL router/switch (4 port). As I teach some networking papers at Otago Polytechnic I thought I should get to know this wee thing. Before anyone jumps in - while I teach networking up to CCNA, level I make no guru claims I am NOT a CCIE. any pointers or advice would be appreciated.

Some immediate problems are that apparently the firmware 3.02.02.07 has a problem with P2P sessions. Not that I use them much - but occasionally they are handy.

Dynalink can't give me an ETA on a fix - and seemed to be unaware of the issue. Which I don't believe for a second. I also asked about any doc giving syntax reference for the CLI and was told it didn't exist. Might follow that up a bit here.

Some initial points:

• Manufactured by Askey in Taiwan, and uses a Broadcom 6348 chipset. (source)
  
• Runs a version of MontaVista embedded linux with a 2.4 kernel. (source)

Some defaults:

• User/pass: admin/admin and user/?
• IP: 192.168.1.1

I'm pretty sure I didn't add the user "user" but can see it from the CLI with "cat /etc/passwd". I might change that passwd.
